Rudy will be missed especially at Northwinds. I worked with him the last 20 years and got to listen to all his stories. Sending prayers.

The world has lost a wonderful, God loving, man with the passing of Rudy. He has been a great father & father-in-law to our daughter, Cindy. He was an awesome grandfather and his grandchildren adored him and loved the time they could spend with him.
We have been fortunate to call Rudy our friend as well as a member of our family.
May Rudy rest in peace now as he shares his new life with his wife, Betty, and the rest of his family & friends that have gone before him to God's house.
My deepest sympathy to Rudy's family & friends, I know he will be greatly missed. You are in our thoughts and prayers as you struggle with this senseless loss of a man who loved and enjoyed life, the outdoors and sports.

Rudy was a great all around person. Devoted husband and Dad and grandfather and always loving to his family. He was a good friend besides a cousin to me and my best man at my wedding and my son(Mike's) Godfather. Will always remember the family picnics and he will always be in my heart. Love you Rudy and God bless you

To his wonderful son's and family, you have our deepest Sympathy. I golfed with Rudy at Northwind's Golf Course, and we became good friends, as we both loved our Polka"s. He called me Meet and always told me we were like cousins. I will miss my dear friend, but his journey here is done.RIP Rudy. God Bless his family and may our dear Lord comfort them.

Our sincere sympathy to Rudy’s family. (my third try). To have lost him in the Spring time of the year must be that God needed a foursome. We will miss him (and Lois) at the summer Polka festivals. Again, our deepest sympathy.
